ZenFone 5Z has the intelligence to help you with all your tasks, including the most important one — communicating with people. Constantly adjusting the ringtone volume depending on where you are a nuisance, so ZenFone 5Z has AI Ringtone that intelligently adapts the ringer volume to suit the ambient noise level. When you’re somewhere noisy, it increases the volume, and when it’s quiet — such as on your bedside table at night — it reduces the volume so it won’t disturb you. Its smart AI-powered call features let ZenFone 5Z adapt itself to your environment, so you’ll always enjoy crystal-clear call quality and recordings.

Audio on smartphones is all too often an afterthought, but not on ZenFone 5Z. Our dedicated audio engineering team made sure of that, with powerful hardware, AI-enhanced software and state-of-the-art audio quality that will give your ears a treat, whatever you’re listening to.

ZenFone 5Z is a masterpiece of design, combining strength with beauty. Its glass-covered body is built from special aerospace-grade aluminum that’s light but incredibly strong, and finished using zircon-sandblasting technology and an intricate eight-layer optical coating process. A final varnish coat under the glass gives a deep, rich luster to the iconic Zen-inspired concentric-circle patterning.

Thoughtful design, crafted to perfection

Building ZenFone 5Z requires precision engineering and exquisite attention to the finest details, in a complex 206-step process. Even hidden details are important: the special thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) under the metal buttons makes them more reliable and gives them a positive feel. A special anti-glare coating reduces reflections to improve image quality and make the camera lenses less visible.

Effortlessly perfect photos, anytime and anywhere

AI Scene Detection takes the guesswork out of photography. ZenFone 5Z uses the power of AI to rapidly analyze the subject and match it to one of its 16 scene types, optimizing the camera settings for almost any kind of subject from sunsets to pet pics. The result is effortlessly perfect photos, anytime and anywhere. ZenFone 5Z uses advanced data analysis to constantly enhance the scene detection algorithms, for ever-smarter photography.

Gorgeous portraits photos like never before

ZenFone 5Z lets you take professional-looking close-up shots of people or objects, without the hassle. With Real-time Portrait mode, the main subject stays pin-sharp, while the background is given a sense of depth with a graduated bokeh effect — created using depth information intelligently analyzed from the subject — for a beautifully artistic photo. Real-time Portrait mode can be used with the rear main or front cameras, capturing gorgeous portraits and close-ups that rival those taken with high-end DSLR cameras. When using the rear camera, Real-time Portrait uses both cameras simultaneously to optimize the bokeh effect even further.
